Chapter 1709
Adam tried to make some noises to get Jeremy’s attention while he was downstairs.
Cathy also tried to slam on the door while screaming. However, there seemed to be no sounds of activities around them even after a long while. It appeared that no one had heard them.
Jeremy heard some noises, but he did not know where the noises came from. He only knew that someone was repeatedly knocking.
He felt that something was amiss. When he was about to go upstairs, he saw Carter at the staircase.
“Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to come to my house so late at night, Mr. Whitman?” Carter’s face was as cold as an iceberg as he came downstairs emotionlessly.
“Whose name were you calling out just now? Shirley?”
When Jeremy saw Carter pretending to look confused, he looked at him coldly.
“Carter, stop pretending. Shirley is part of this whole plan with you. I already know it.”
“Oh? Really?” Carter asked coldly with a calm and indifferent expression. “If that’s the case, why are you still here? If you know we’re in this together and that the poison in your wife’s body doesn’t have an anti-toxoid test reagent, why did you still come to me?”
“You don’t have to teach me how to do things! Get me Shirley!” Jeremy did not have time to beat around the bush with Carter. His heart was now occupied with the desire to ease Madeline’s discomfort. However, only Shirley was able to help Madeline now because she was the person who created this poison.
When Carter saw Jeremy so deeply worried about Madeline, a small smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
He asked a maid to bring some tea over. He sat down on the sofa leisurely to drink the tea.
“Carter, ask Shirley to come out. I know she must be here.” Jeremy was sure. It had always been easy for him to track someone in Glendale.
If he wanted to find someone, he would have no problems doing it.
He also knew about Shirley and Carter coming to Glendale back then.
Carter slowly took a sip of his tea. “Even if she comes out to see you, she doesn’t have an anti-toxoid test reagent for you. Even if she does, it’s only able to ease your wife’s condition temporarily.”
“Don’t spew nonsense with me.” Jeremy’s patience was wearing thin. “Carter, you can do whatever you want in St. Piaf, but let me remind you, this is Glendale!”
